**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

I've tried to make a comprehensive list, but I still feel I've missed some. Moreover, the game is forever evolving, so more will be added.

Feel free to add any that I've missed.

    Ultron OG is also known as ultron drone (thoug he is not i know) because He looks like the Drones from the original ultron aou Event.
    In germany very common.

    There is one more you missed:
    AAR - Ability accuracy reduction.

    As much as I used ST+KM, it's embarrassing I missed this one.

    Thanks for the list, very handy if I forget an acronym.

    Well buff/nerf is indeed in forum terms an improvement/decline of a champion, in-game it is buff/debuff and applies to a certain type of status effect that yield positive/negative results.

    Don't forget nodes, a lot of people (myself included) don't usually know all the effects by hard. I've searched the internet and there is nowhere a list of those. Like:
    • Masochism
    • Buffet
    • Mesmerize
    • etc.

    Also: meme champion: KK, Colossus, Spider-Gwen, Joe Fixit,...

    Also, nicknames. Like potato head (MODOK).

    This is a list of acronyms though, so your point is not necessarily relevant in this discussion.

    Dupe - Duplicate Champion
    Kabam-med - Getting a horrible champion in a crystal you invested a lot of time on. Otherwise known as life slapping you in the face.

    That's all I got.

    Or......we could negate the need for a comprehensive list of acronyms and abbreviations by not being lazy and actually typing out the names.

    You haven't used the in-game chat much, don't you?

    The node name is a sort of abbreviation. Nobody really states if it is a node or what it does, but assumes everyone knows.

    Win the game - achieve something thought to be very difficult in nature, especially that which one previously believed that one would never achieve. (Ex. ROL, LOL, Darkhawk Uncollected)
